Had my first shoot with Richard yesterday and I only have gleaming praise to say about him. Pre comms were great and he was really easy to chat with over message, and he was even more friendly in person. He made me feel completely at ease during our shoot together and time flew by. I can’t wait to see the final images and would 100% love to work with him again!

It was so easy working with Richard.

He had lots of ideas and was open to my input. He made me feel comfortable throughout the shoot, there was no pressure of any sort.

Really kind of him to drive me from Birmingham New Street to the shoot location too.

Glad to be helping him out with his charity project.

Worked with Richard for the first time today for a charity Callander shoot series, and I absolutely loved it! Communication before hand was amazing, he had the ideas, the location and the shots he wanted all planned and we were able to get a lot of them!

I was made to feel really comfortable only doing what I felt like doing, which led to us getting some great shots on a regular camera and on a Polaroid.

I would definitely work with Richard again, and recommend him for any type of shoot you want to do, great photographer and great personality!

Thanks Richard ☺️

Had my first shoot with Richard today i really enjoyed it before the shoot he stayed in touch and we easily organised the shoot. He was professional and the photos came out amazing and he also took polaroids which was a great addition to the shoot. I cant wait to add the photos to my portfolio and I hope to shoot again :)

Had my 3rd shoot with Rich a few weeks ago and just like the other shoots was brilliant! We got a mixture of outfits and got a lot of maternity photos as well.

Rich came had plenty of ideas and even brought 2 bunches of gorgeous flowers for the shoot and a present. I always enjoy working with rich and looking forward to more shoots in the future!

Defo recommend!

This was my first shoot with Richard and I really enjoyed it!

Before the day of our shoot Richard was engaging in professional friendly conversation and already making me feel at ease about our shoot. He was respectful throughout, including prior to the shoot and on-set. He has a great personality and sense of humour that allowed us both to enjoy the day, lots of laughs were shared and first shoot memories created!

Richard had made the effort to buy all sorts of props and accessories for our shoot, his creativity as a photographer to incorporate these items ultimately created some great shots! He even gifted me a light up 'E' as a keep-sake and the printed polaroid's was a nice touch.

Richard had all the necessary paperwork to hand, (shoot plans and release forms) which was reassuring. Not only this, but he was open to discussion/input regarding where/how the photos would be shared from my perspective, there was no uncomfortableness surrounding this which was really lovely.

I'm looking forward to working with Richard in the future. I would recommend him to models new and experienced. He's an all round great guy and fabulous photographer!

I had my first shoot with Richard, I travelled up to Birmingham to shoot for a casting he put up. We had lots of lovely chats during the shoot, and he treated me and my friend to lunch which was lovely!

Richard is very professional with paperwork being signed and insurance cover and doing things the proper way which is reassuring!

We shot a range of photos with flowers and the photos turned out great and will add a lot of character to my portfolio. Thank you again, Richard😊

Had a great shoot with Rich, who was full of ideas, has a natural flair for creativity and is a pleasure to work with. Shot at Richards home and he knew how to utilise space and make the most of the daylight. A relaxed and friendly atmosphere, and I'm happy with the images. Highly recommended.
